Welcome to the photography blog of Melanie McDonald ! I'm a professional artist, my life is divided between my home in Newquay, Cornwall and my renovation project - an 18th Century farm - in North Brittany, France. My inspiration comes from the beautiful beaches, skies and seas of Cornwall, Brittany and Scotland. This is where I share my photographs, I hope it inspires you.

My Cornwall - Wild about Constantine Bay

Images of Constantine Bay on a wild and exhilarating October day. From Newquay, (my old home), it's a short drive along the rugged north coast of Cornwall to this curved bay hidden by sand dunes. A wondrous bay, reminiscent of a story book picture, it evokes memories of my childhood, and somehow encapsulates all the things I love so much about Cornwall. It feels remote yet familiar, and still bestows unexpected surprises, such as the tiny coastal coffee van, riveting surfer spectacles and shimmering goose barnacles clinging on to a huge washed up log.
